Description

Super Easy Install

All ObsidianWire Pro-Wired Electronics are super easy to install, and allow for solder-less pickup changes with ObsidianWire Plug, Play & Enjoy connectors.

Improved Sound & Play-ability

The ObsidianWire Traditional Vintage wiring harness for Telecaster® preserves the legacy of the original work horse, with a few tweaks in quality and design to improve the sound and play-ability.

With the addition of premium selected and hand matched components for greater clarity and control, this wiring harness returns your original telecaster to glory.

Crystal Clear Tone

To make your tone crystal clear at lower volumes we also include an ObsidianWire Custom Spec Treble Bleed Mod. This prevents tone 'muddiness' at low volumes by allowing high frequencies to pass along a separate path to your amp, rather than being stopped short by the increasing resistance at the volume control.

Traditional wiring harness for telecaster

Easy to install. Sounds great. Will buy one for Strat and LP’s when the time comes. Quick response when I had a question on installation.

Classic Tele 3 way

As someone who sucks at soldering, this was a perfect product fast shipping and was EXACTLY what I needed to upgrade my Mexican Tele to a new beast. Love it!!! Obsidian Wire forever!

Traditional tele wiring harness 25ok pots

I put one of these along with a Seymour Duncan hot rails in my squire. The guitar sounds better than I ever hoped. I was also pleased with the new control plate and knobs. Thank you for warning me my original squier plate and knobs wouldn't work with your product. What a great company. Thanks!

Tele traditional solderless control assembly

I solder and my soldering skills are quite well, but I like trying out different pickups quite often. Rather than taking out a soldering iron every time I do a pickup swap, this control plate makes it a breeze. Plus, the parts and workmanship are top notch. Thinking seriously about getting one for my Les Paul..

Tele controls

Obsidian ‘build quality is excellent- perfect solder joints, top quality components
This is the second set I’ve gotten from Obsidian - never going back to the cheapo versions currently available

Tele three-way harness

I love this harness. it was easy to install and the controls work perfectly. I especially like the treble bleed circuit. It's perfect for maintaining a consistent tone regardless of the volume. The volume control is also smooth and consistent as well. I plan to use the custom blend Strat harness for my upcoming Strat build!

AWESOME.

I am totally useless w/r/t soldering, wiring, anything technical. Despite it I took on my first parts-caster project, and i was honestly blown away by how easy it was. This harness is stupidly easy to install, high quality and stress-free. My SD Little 59 and Vintage 54 are happily nestled in my tele (Matt was super helpful in helping me pick which pots and threw in some resistors in case I have any trouble with treble overload). TOTALLY worth the wait (a little over a week with international shipping) and the $. Very accommodating and professional staff. thanks, guys!

What an upgrade

Like other folks who have posted on this blog, I wanted to change the pick ups and also the controls for my telecaster but really did not want to get into the soldering thing. Installation is straightforward and quite simple. My install also included adding vintage noiseless pickups from Fender. Big thanks to the folks at obsidian wire. Great work Matt!

EXCELLENT UPGRADE FOR ANY GUITAR.

When I first discovered this, I knew it was for me. I had wanted to upgrade my American Tele's electronics for a while now, as I've had it for many years, and due to improper care and maintenance they had accumulated corrosion and rust which was beyond cleaning or repair. But as I was lazy and hate soldering I never got to it. This harness made it extremely easy to replace everything in less than 20 minutes and without any soldering whatsoever. It took me 5 minutes to uncscrew everything and clip all the wires from the old harness, 2 minutes to strip the wire ends, 5 minutes to fit the wire ends into the connector only because I can't see very well and have fat fingers, and 5 minutes to screw everything back together. And everything worked perfectly on the first attempt, which is suprising when it comes to me. It also makes it super easy to switch pickups in less than 5 minutes. The parts used in this are of high quality and the tone is great. Finally, the Treble Bleed Mod is awesome. I've always hated the muddy tones my crystal bright Tele produced when I rolled the volume knob down even a little. Granted, I've only played with this harness for a couple of hours, but so far it seems that that problem is gone for good. All in all I rate this as a 10/10. I've been playing for over 25 years and have spent a fortune on gear and parts over the years. This is a purchase I will never regret. I will definitely get a harness for my Les Paul as well at some point. Great product, Obsidian should find a European dealer asap!

Best upgrade for a Squier CV tele

The original electronics are budget. This upgrade takes the guitar a gigging instrument

Bruno12th May 2016

Superb!

The 3 position Tele harness is the finishing touch on my current project. The harness is very well put together, it fit perfectly into the body and it literally took 15 minutes to install. And my Lollar Special-T pickups sound FANTASTIC! Crystal clear operation. You cannot go wrong with this harness. The sound and ease of installation make this a no-brainer. WELL DONE!

NICE BIT OF KIT!

Amazing Upgrade!

My '74 Ash Hartail Strat with Kinmans' always sounded good! After installing the kit, I was blown away. I immediately went and bought another kit for my Tele! Well made, easy to install and loaded with tone. Great after sales help also. Great work Matt - thanks heaps!

I'll be ordering more!

Hey there. I just installed my vintage 3 way tele set that was delivered last week. It is excellent. The total changeover time took less than half an hour. I'm sure it would go quicker with a shop where all of your tools are right there. And the tone!! I have SD 52 for tele pickups in the guitar and I feel like I'm only hearing them for the first time. Through my AC 30, they sound incredible. So for the "new to modifications" guy that I am, I can't imagine installing and controlling pickups any other way. I'll be ordering more!
